# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:* SAPR/SHARP Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-0608.

*Needs and Uses:* NORC at the University of Chicago, in collaboration with the United States Naval Academy (USNA) Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) staff and the United States Military Academy (USMA) sexual harassment/assault response and prevention (SHARP) staff, is conducting the SAPR/SHARP Surveys (a baseline survey and one follow-up survey) with USNA students (midshipmen) and USMA students (cadets) with funding support from the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office. The purpose of the overall study is to determine the effectiveness of the academy prevention programming in addressing sexual harassment and sexual assault. The survey assesses topics such as rape myth acceptance, descriptive behavioral norms at the respective academies, experiences of sexual harassment and sexual assault, alcohol-related sex expectancies, witnessing experiences that might call for bystander intervention to prevent sexual harassment and/or sexual assault, and personal responses when exposed to these situations. The surveys are voluntary. Data are aggregated by appropriate sociodemographic categories (sex, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and varsity athletic participation; sociodemographic responses will be recoded as binary indicators to prevent anyone from figuring out an individual participant's       ( print page 39011)    identity based on unique characteristics). The results of this survey will be used by the Service Academies to evaluate and update their prevention programming.

*Affected Public:* Individuals or households.

*Annual Burden Hours:* 1,100.

*Number of Respondents:* 4,400.

*Responses per Respondent:* 1.

*Annual Responses:* 4,400.

*Average Burden per Response:* 15 minutes.

*Frequency:* On occasion (baseline in summer 2021; follow-up in spring 2023).
